Chocolate Toxicity-
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and that means there may be more chocolate in the house. It's crucial to be mindful of the potential dangers chocolate poses to our pets and keep it out of reach.

Chocolate contains theobromine, a compound that dogs process much more slowly than humans. Even small amounts can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and an increased heart rate, while larger amounts can lead to more severe health issues. Since theobromine is found in cacao, chocolates with higher cacao content, like dark chocolate and baking chocolate, are especially toxic to pets.

🐾 Puppy Socialization: The Key to a Well-Adjusted Dog 🐾

At Salado Veterinary Hospital and Urgent Care, we believe that early socialization is one of the most important things you can do for your puppy! 🐶 Proper socialization helps your furry friend grow up to be confident, well-mannered, and comfortable in a variety of environments and situations.

Socialization is a lifelong process, so don’t worry if your puppy isn’t perfect right away — with love, patience, and the right guidance, they’ll be on their way to becoming a well-rounded companion. 🐕💕
